New chief opposes plan to stop immigrants – Boston, Massachusetts

Tagged: , ,

“In one of his first official acts, Boston’s new police commissioner declared yesterday that he would oppose any effort to enlist city officers in a Romney administration pact that allows the State Police to arrest immigrants who are in Massachusetts illegally.

While Governor Mitt Romney has said that allowing state troopers to detain people for immigration violations could make Massachusetts less welcoming for illegal immigrants, the commissioner, Edward F. Davis III, said he does not want such authority granted to his officers because it would hurt community policing.”
